Released almost nine months after a
Tesla vehicle crossed the Sydney Harbour
Bridge on autopilot, the NRMA report
identified the need for state and federal
governments to remove all legislative
barriers to the driverless car and ensure
the relevant public sector departments
have the capacity to deal with, and make
the most of, a period of fast change in
personal mobility.
NRMA Group CEO Rohan Lund says
driverless cars could become part of the
solution to the state’s appalling road toll,
however Australia could be left behind by
over 700 laws and regulations that may need
to be changed to keep up with technology.
“ If we plot the history of driving in
Australia the greatest successes we’ve had
in reducing the road toll have coincided
with significant enhancements in
technology – seatbelts, airbags and
electronic stability control are all
examples,” Mr Lund says.
He notes the findings of this report
suggest that the safety benefits of driverless
cars, even semi-driverless cars, have the
potential to dwarf anything that has come
before it in terms of the lives saved.
Mr Lund adds, “The mobility benefits of
driverless cars for our older Members
approaching the end of their driving careers,
or those living with mobility challenges, also
have the potential to be life-changing –
especially for those in regional NSW where
there are fewer transport options.”
Get the cheapest fuel at your
fingertips with the NRMA app
THE NSW GOVERNMENT has delivered
one of the most significant reforms to the
Australian petrol industry in decades and
it will see NRMA Members able to access
real-time petrol prices for every service
station across NSW.
The NRMA’s smartphone app now has a
unique search option that enables
motorists to find the cheapest fuel of any
type anywhere in the state. The NRMA
launched the app at an independent
service station in Sydney, alongside NSW
Minister for Innovation and Better Regulation, Victor Dominello.
NRMA President Kyle Loades says the Government’s reforms, which mandate
that every service station in NSW must post its bowser prices in real-time, have
changed the petrol landscape forever in a way that strongly benefits motorists.
“ Gone are the days of NRMA Members getting caught out filling up at an
expensive service station, only to drive around the corner and find much cheaper
prices at another site. Now, with the flick of a button on the NRMA smartphone
app, you can find the cheapest service station in your area,” says Mr Loades.
At the time of launching the app, the NRMA released new analysis that identified
the cheapest service stations in NSW this year. The analysis found if motorists
used the app to source the cheapest fuel every time they filled up, they could save
hundreds of dollars a year. The NRMA app is available at the App Store.
